If the Bucs can find solid pieces in this week’s draft to shore up their areas of need, it’s certainly wouldn’t be impossible for them to fulfill Wright’s audacious prediction of 13-3. However, wins over both the Packers and Patriots might be a bit of a stretch.

The mere proposition of a 13-win season by Wright shows how Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston continues to impress those around the country, and if the Bucs were to accomplish that record, it’s also reasonable to assume that Winston would be in the mix for league MVP. Now that he’s been equipped with DeSean Jackson as a legitimate deep threat, Tampa Bay could prove to be too punishing against opposing teams, especially when paired with a budding solid defense under defensive coordinator Mike Smith. If everything goes according to plan and clicks together effectively for the Bucs, it’s perfectly reasonable that they could be this year’s version of last year’s Falcons, as Wright so boldly predicts.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up two running backs in April's NFL draft in Ke'Shawn Vaughn (third round) and Raymond Calais (seventh round) to help bolster a backfield that lost Peyton Barber this offseason in free agency.

Vaughn and Calais will be joining incumbent starter Ronald Jones, who finished his 2019 sophomore campaign with 724 rushing yards to go along with six touchdowns. But the Bucs could definitely use an experienced veteran back to help their offense and new quarterback Tom Brady, and one name that keeps coming up is former Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman.

The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted sports leagues around the world, and if and when the NFL kicks off its 2020 season, one of the proposed ideas to ensure public safety is playing games in empty stadiums. While that might not be the ideal situation for either the league or its fans, it's an option that's on the table at this point.
